Synopsis

With memorable and unsettling opening credits, 'Armchair Thriller' became a massive hit for Thames Television in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With its trademark ghoulish cliff hangers and iconic theme tune (by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay), this haunting anthology series was an immediate success, its eerie, disturbing tales regularly attracting over 15 million viewers. For many, this series remains a high-watermark of dramatic television and its many frightening and spooky moments are remembered by viewers nearly thirty years after its original transmission.
